Yesterday I saw the most incredible movie I have seen since I saw “The blind side”. This book is called “The book of Eli” with Denzel Washington and with Gary Oldman. This movie contains a strong religious topic, which is faith. Eli, the protagonist of the movie survived a natural disaster and a very harmful catastrophe. Then he heard God in his dreams. God lead him to the last bible that remained in perfect state. Eli had the responsibility of taking this bible to a place where people need it and that will appreciate having one. After seeing this movie, I felt as if I was again new, as if I had born again. This feeling is something that many of us should feel and you can find it by ‘speaking’ to God. I truly recommend this movie.

Today I finished the last part of the movie The Godfather, a movie by Mario Puzo. These series of movies are incredibly good and they relate to us, another why of not becoming part of the drug dealing business. Michael Corleone, son of Vito Corleone and the protagonist of the movie, is involved in drug dealing and this is the cause of the death of several family members of his. People now a days should think about what is good and what is bad for their lives and for the lives of their loved ones. Many of the times, we see in the newspaper the murders of people and the cause for these is because they are in the drug business.

Yesterday night, I saw the movie Invictus, with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. This movie was incredible. It is unbelievable to see how people in South Africa joined no matter the color or beliefs, just to support there teem in the Rugby finals. This was the goal of Nelson Mandela throughout the movie, TO UNITE SOUTH AFRICA. These types of unifying acts still can be seen in our world, and in our nation, Honduras. A very good example is the one occurring during these past months. All the ‘Catrachos’ have been unified throughout the different soccer games, until Honduras finally got into the list of the World Cup 2010. All of the Hondurans have been and will be unified by a force that is of mutual interest, going into another round of the world cup.

Yesterday I saw the movie Scarface, with Al Pacino, a perfect example of why people should never go into the drug business. By watching this movie, we can appreciate in a very explicit way, how drug dealers give an end to their lives. Scarface is a movie based on the life of Cuban citizens that were deported to the United States in order to work. When Tony Montana, the protagonist of the Movie enters American territory and gets his green card, he went to work at a food place. Then, he became induced to the business of drug because of his friend Manny. After a while of working in the same commerce, Tony Montana becomes a very powerful person, and the one that everyone gets terrified by. By this time, people would say that they would love to be in that business, but as the movie comes to an end, we can understand why drug dealing is not good. Tony becomes a drug consumer and then gets killed along with his family. No one should ever enter the business of drugs.

Yesterday I saw a very special movie that talks about friendship and it teaches everyone that sees it how friend should treat each other. Many of the people now a day believe that there are no friends, and this is because of the consequences that they have had by believing in a person that they called ‘friend’. This happens in all ages and all over the world. Toy Story three is a perfect example of how friends should treat and how they should be lead by honesty and loyalty. During the movie we can appreciate how Woody believe at all times in his owner Andy. Woody is always defending him and what we should remember from this movie is what he talks about all the time. “Andy has always been there for us…” (Woody).

Many times young people, about fifteen years old believe than they should not tell things to their parents because they are big enough to handle them. This is the major problem to consequences as little as a sickness or as important as death. In the movie Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson the daughter of detective Craven works in an agency were everything they do is top secret. Craven's daughter chooses not to tell his dad what was happening to her and what she did in at work. She was murdered days after some members of a society, which she should have not talked about, poisoned her. She created a disk in were everything that occurred at work was discovered. After her death, a friend of her gave this CD to detective Craven, but it was now too late. Many families suffered of the deaths of loved ones and all because of not talking to their parents. I believe that everyone should say to their parents what is happening, if there are strange things happening. This is what my dad has taught to me, and this has totally worked.

As always parents teach to their children, brothers, sisters and other family members should be united. In the movie Four Brothers, with Tyrese Gibson, Mark Wahlberg, Andre Bejamin, and Garrett Hedlund, these brothers unite themselves to find the murderer of their mother. This old lady had been killed on a convenience store, and this adopted sons looked for her murderer no matter the cost of it. During their persecution, one of them gets killed and this gets them angrier. When something happens, we should just let it be because if not we could get things worst. Not only being united, but also the peace is very important between family members.

Are we living on the real world or is it just a dream? Are we dreaming and everything comes from our subconscious? Whose dream is it? These are questions that paranoid people would start to believe when they finish watching the movie by Leonardo DiCaprio, Inception. During this movie, you will be able to view the unreal, but real circumstances that occur during a dream. The actors talk about free falls, kills, and stuff that wake you from a dream. All of this is true! When you were little have you ever dreamed about somebody killing you or about escaping from something and you fall from a cliff? All of these things that happen while you sleep, wake you up and most often happen also in real life. An example could be that when you fall from the bed, you fall from a cliff in the dream. Or as seen in the movie, when you get wet, rain starts to fall in the dream. This movie make you think a lot, and I recommend you go and see it.
